1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. This passage can be especially important to students. When we go out into the world after high school it is important to be prepared because there will be people testing our faith at every turn. There will be people out there whose sole purpose is to tear the Christian faith apart and they will not spare your feelings. If we prepare now we will better be able to defend our faith after school and throughout our life so we can continue to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. When we speak to people who are also knowledgeable we must speak to them knowing what we are saying and being prepared to answer and questions they might have for us. Colossians 4:6 “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

Plagiarism:
Taking Physics
the real deal
One of the most common forms of cheating in high schools and colleges today is called plagiarism. Many, if not all students, are familiar with what plagiarism is and many seem to say that it is wrong, but few can say what makes it wrong or why it is wrong. Plagiarism is the taking of someone else’s work and calling it one’s own. In a sense, it is the stealing of someone’s hard work. It is a problem in schools that needs to stop.

Painting the Pub Room
How does one take two sheets of plain office paper, a half meter of tape, and a cardboard base and make the tallest free standing paper tower possible? Physics, that’s how. Every year Mr. Tracy’s Physics class is given a project to start out the school year. The students are given two sheets of 8.5 by 11 inch white paper, a half meter of clear scotch tape, and one cardboard base. Students also receive multiple opportu-

Over the summer, several teachers at Lakeside traded classrooms. Mr. Hackbarth moved upstairs to Mrs. Schommer’s former room and Mrs. Schommer and the publications room, aka the “pub room,” have moved to the other corner of the school that once contained Mr. Kehl’s room. Everyone is encouraged to stop by the pub room and share possible ideas for articles,comics, poems, Locker Talk or anything else that could be published. The new editors are eager to make this year’s newspaper a huge success.

nities to experiment with the materials before making their final project. The most common method of tower construction was rolling strips of paper into tubes and stacking them on top of each other. Towers ranged anywhere from 180 cm, to the tallest, which was over 3 meters or 332 cm. That is over 10 feet. This tower was created last Friday by Ingvild Wik and Jordan Gaal. Their strategy much like the other groups, consisted of using three small strips of paper as supports. These connected the base to the lower half of the structure. Similar to the support wires on a cellphone tower, the paper strips worked to steady the entire column. The remaining parts of the pillar were composed of tightly wrapped sheets of paper tactfully stacked atop one another. The result of this incredible feat was quite the sight to behold. Knowing that the tower was created from a mere two sheets of paper, completely amazed anyone who saw it.
